Fun play and training for kids' motor skills and fitness
This study tests whether a program of fun exercises and active play can improve physical fitness, balance, and movement skills in healthy children ages 7-10. It may be a good fit if your child is developing typically and enjoys being active.

This study tests a program combining mindful movement and game-based exercises to help children with developmental delay improve their motor skills, balance, and walking. It is designed for children ages 9–11 who have some challenges with movement but can follow instructions.
This trial tests whether a playful animal-themed exercise program helps children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) improve their movement skills. It is for children who have not had any treatment in the last 6 months.
This study compares two types of movement training—obstacle courses versus targeted coordination exercises—for children ages 7–10 who have difficulty with coordination and motor skills. The goal is to see which approach helps children move and balance better.
This study looks at whether fun, game-based exercises can help children with sensory integration issues (like trouble with balance, body awareness, or touch sensitivity). If your child qualifies, they will take part in a gamified movement program designed to improve these skills.
